1893 PR 63 Cameo NGC. Ex: Trompeter. Only 55 proofs were
made in this year, but far fewer exist today with perhaps as few as
15-18 survivors known. This is a very attractive, heavily
contrasted coin that represents excellent value for the grade. The
striking details are fully defined in every area. The devices are
very heavily frosted and set against unfathomably deep mirrors in
the fields. There are a number of tiny contact marks in the fields
that account for the grade, but the only one that could possibly be
used as a pedigree marker is above the T in TEN on the lower
reverse. Population: 1 in 63, only 5 are finer (11/98). (NGC ID# 28FY, PCGS# 8833)
